Mantis - collabs with Kellie Rowley

I am a multi-instrumentalist
Who
Plays the bass, the guitar, the drums, and tap guitar
And I
Can find my way on keys, so that
I can't ever
Be bored when
I am in the studio
Especially since I like to
Compose songs as well.
I usually take great
Care of the lyrics,
because
I feel a song is more
Than just a set of sounds,
It also
Conveys a message.
I have been
Influenced by many artists,
But when I ask who frequently return,
People
Mostly
Mention
Steely Dan, King Crimson,
Weather Report, Duran Duran, Jimi
Hendrix, Roxy Music, Tower of Power,
Gentle Giant, James Brown, Primus

how is that for a salad?
That is not to say
That
I try to
Mimick them, the
Influences just
Sneak up on me when
I am not paying attention.
I play in projects with
Other musicians as well
These are mostly
Soul & funk based,
But I can mostly find a way in
Rock, jazz and folk
As well.
